Shahar Flips Out Pichierri

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Ran Shahar had opened from the button and then called the shove of Alessandro Pichierri, who moved all in from the small blind for around 45,000.

Alessandro Pichierri: AJ All in
Ran Shahar: 66

Pichierri had to win a flip to stay alive, but found no help on the 4Q8 flop. A 6 on the turn sealed Pichierri's fate as he was drawing dead, with the meaningless K filling out the board on the river.

Naydenov Finds Aces at the Right Time

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Simeon Naydenov got his stack of around 80,000 into the middle from the button, with Juan Vecino trying to bust him out of the hijack.

Simeon Naydenov: AA All in
Juan Vecino: 66

Vecino needed to come from way behind to crack the aces of Naydenov and send him home earlier than he would have liked.

The J57K5 runout was produced by the dealer, providing no sweat for Naydenov's bullets and he earned the double-up at the expense of Vecino.

Sitbon Pays in Full to See Sethi's Boat

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Julien Sitbon
Julien Sitbon

With 45,000 in the middle on a completed board of Q556J, Julien Sitbon was deep in the tank facing a shove for 50,000 from Vidur Sethi.

Sitbon, who was seated in middle position, began staring at his neighbor in the hijack, trying to get a read. After thinking for a long time, Sitbon put in the call.

Sethi turned over the nut full house with QQ, and Sitbon was forced to reveal that he had hero-called with 64 for just a pair of sixes.

Panka Doesn't Get Fooled

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The action was picked up on a board of JA9KA after Dominik Panka in middle position bet 22,000 and was raised to 65,000 by Nolan Madene in the big blind.

It took a few seconds for Panka to calmly call with AJ for a full house. Madene had A7 and seemed to replay the hand in his mind while Panka was scooping the pot.

Cheng Clicks Buttons

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Gonzalo Mencia opened to 6,000 in the cutoff, and Xiao Cheng three-bet to 10,500 in the big blind. Mencia called.

Cheng sized down to 3,500 on the 1092 flop and Mencia called. Cheng then bet 7,000 on the 7 turn, and Mencia again called.

Cheng checked on the 6 river, and Mencia checked back. Cheng could only show king-high with K5 as Mencia showed Q9 to win the pot with a pair of nines.

Laurila Flops an Ace to Crack Yang's Cowboys

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

A huge pot was brewing between Tero Laurila and Chongxian Yang.

The action was picked up with Yang having 48,000 laid out in front of him from the cutoff. It was back on Laurila, who had moved all in for 184,500 from middle position, and after rechecking his cards, Yang called.

Tero Laurila: AK All in
Chongxian Yang: KK

Yang had a chance to become one of the chip leaders, and would be if the board ran clean. Instead of moving up the counts, it seemed likely that Yang would plummet as the 45A flop gave Laurila a pair of aces.

A 2 on the turn did bring around some chop outs as any three would put a straight on board, but the 5 river changed nothing, and Laurila scored the big double-up.
